It wus observed in the final examination Hint he mis perfect up to the last, not missing a question, but beyond this he stood low. Ills brother James graduated with great ecbit, howefer, and wentjuto Ihc ollice of Hrircs ,t Morton to sludy law. Jack staid one year longer at the academy, and giadiuted, and then came the trials of his life. The day after Ins graduation he requested bis father to send him to the Seieuiilie In stitute. Mr. Donne wss astonished. 1 won't do it !" he exclaimed in anger. "Yin are only HI for a farmer and ;on have education ei.ough for thai.

His mother kept her owu ivunm-l, and Jack thought of her with a lueap in his throat, fir he knew that the $IE0 In had i" hia pocket represented the accumulated sayiugs of twenty years of bis life.

James upbraided him for hit folly, and declared thai hedesened to lose his farm. "If Jack was only hen." said Mrs. D ome, i would he nu b a comfort something lo lcm upon." "Jack Is a worthless dog," said Farmer Diane in reply, "and I'll warrant la beggiiu' bis ihily bread, or working for his board al best! Ho would bo a pi or slick to Itau on." The iay of sal came, and . a large crowd wi attracted to the form, tor It wa lha best farm in the county, well worth ?0,0l)0, but these close times and at a public sail, would not bring much over half that amnnnt.

Jack was the purchaser f the farm. Never did Ihu Tillage of Oleon experience such a seiHiliou.

Jack decided Ihe farai to bis mother, telling her it was "only principal and interest on the loan you made me whea I left home, and a little payment on the motherly com foil you alfoi'ded me tluiiug tny stupid, plodding school boy dajs." Inquiry among Jack's employers revealed the fact that the high-priced quality iu Jack's compositiou wa deliberation.

Jack is stlllat his profession, und stalls nt the head of it. No hrge enterprises are under 'akcu wllhoul consulting hies.
